1859-1882 Masonic Deaths
Polk County TX
Submitted by Cannon Pritchard
In 1828, eight years before Texas achieved her independence
upon the battlefield of San Jacinto,
the first Masonic Convention in Texas was held at San Felipe de
Austin on the Brazos River.
Attending the convention was Stephen F. Austin, the Father of
Texas. There have been many
Texans from all walks of life, affiliated with the Masons.
Local organizations of Masons, called
Lodges, are located across the state. Each Lodge is responsible
for maintaining and submitting
records about their members to the Grand Lodge of Texas,
the administrative body in charge,
located in Waco, Texas. The Grand Lodge published information from
these records in their
annual report.
